Name: Kristen Szewczyk

E-mail: shamr0ck29@aol.com

Year & Major: Freshman, Computer Science major and art minor.

Place(s) of residence: The northwest suburbs of Chicago... specifically Cary, Illinois. But, right now, it's Clifton/Fullerton Hall.

Favorite bands: Smashing Pumpkins, Moby, Perfect Circle, Ida, Jimi Hendrix, Placebo, The Keith Jarrett Jazz Trio, Clannad, and the list goes on...

Drink of choice: I have an affection for Guinness ("a deep dark ray of sunshine") and Seagram's ginger ale. Although not together, of course. For something a bit more mellow, a spot of tea will do the trick.

Favorite bit of Irish culture: Definitely the music.

Other: I collect slinkies!!! The best toy ever invented... :)
